### Performance Optimizations
- **Caching** - Bean descriptors and reflection metadata are cached for improved performance
- **Lazy initialization** - Resources and expensive operations are initialized only when needed  
- **Memory efficient** - Specialized collections like `LruHashMap` and `ArrayMap` for memory-conscious applications
